The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness
Chapter 144 - 144 Auction144 Auction
In the office, Yi Zheng slowly curled his lips and took out the bracelet that Shi Man had returned to the Yi family from the drawer. He suddenly thought of a brilliant idea for Shi Man to have no choice but to accept this thing again.
After school, Yuan Yi and Shi Mu came to the class door to pick Shi Man up. Seeing her come out, Shi Mu walked over mysteriously and held her hand. “Sister, Brother will bring you out to play today.”
“Where are you going?” Shi Man turned around to bid farewell to Su Tang before looking at the mysterious Shi Mu curiously and raising her eyebrows.
Yuan Yi smiled and said, “I told you long ago that you won’t be bored when you’re with me in the future. I just received an invitation to an auction and I’ll bring you there to play.”
Shi Man was surprised. “What auction is that? They didn’t send an invitation to the Shi family?”
Shi Mu coughed lightly and lowered his voice. “Sister, you don’t know, but this auction is different from ordinary ones. I heard that there will be an illegal armament auction. The Shi family has never been involved in this, so the organizers naturally didn’t dare to invite us to participate.”
When Shi Man heard his explanation, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yuan Yi playfully. “It seems that your family is involved in this?”
Yuan Yi smiled and did not answer her question. Instead, he pushed her shoulder into the car.
The few of them quickly drove to the auction venue. Yuan Yi took out the invitation and showed his identity, bringing Shi Man and Shi Mu in.
If it were anyone else, they naturally could not bring outsiders who were not invited into the venue. However, the Yuan family was one of the investors behind this auction, so the bodyguards in charge of receiving them outside did not dare to stop them.
This auction was set on the fifteenth floor of the hotel. After Shi Man and the others took the elevator to the fourteenth floor, the staff waiting outside the elevator personally checked with a machine that they were not carrying prohibited items before someone led them up the stairs on foot.
Outside the auction, the service staff had long received the news and was waiting there. When he saw Yuan Yi, he immediately made an inviting gesture ingratiatingly. Then, he smiled respectfully and said, “Young Master Yuan, I’ve already reserved a private room with the best view for you in advance. In a while, someone will send the list of items for this auction to you. If you have any other instructions, please call me. I’ll be waiting for your call outside the private room.”
Yuan Yi glanced at Shi Man and raised his eyebrows with a smile. “Send some nuts, snacks, and red wine with low alcoholic content up.”
“Alright, Young Master Yuan.” The staff sent them to the door of the private room and immediately turned around to get the items ready.
In the private room next door, a woman in a long red dress and exquisite makeup immediately perked up when she heard the staff address Young Master Yuan. She tidied her hair in the mirror and walked out of the private room with a standard gentle smile. She pretended to have accidentally bumped into him and widened her eyes in surprise. “Brother Yuan Yi! It’s really you!”
Shi Man looked over. The first thing she smelled was the fragrance of gardenias. Then, she saw a pretentious woman flirting with Yuan Yi.
Shi Mu frowned slightly and glared at his childhood friend unhappily. “You invited someone else here?”
“I didn’t.” Although Yuan Yi was answering Shi Mu, his eyes were fixed on Shi Man, as if he didn’t want her to misunderstand.
Seeing that he was ignoring her and looking at the girl beside him affectionately, the woman immediately glared at him jealously, wanting to see which vixen had beaten her to him.
Unexpectedly, she saw Shi Man, who was bare-faced. Her eyes widened and she lost her composure in disbelief. “Why are you with Brother Yuan Yi? Didn’t you chase after President Yi all day?”
After saying that, she pouted a little aggrievedly and questioned pitifully, “Tell me quickly, what’s your relationship with Brother Yuan Yi?”
To her, Shi Man was too despicable. In the past, when she liked Yi Zheng, Shi Man jumped out and became Yi Zheng’s fiancée. After knowing her feelings, she dragged her down from her position as a top celebrity in the entertainment industry. After exposing a few scandals about her, she refused to stop. She used all kinds of methods to force her to leave the entertainment industry and completely disappear from Yi Zheng’s sight.
Shi Man had caused her to completely lose the career she was proud of. Now, she was snatching Brother Yuan Yi!
Yuan Yi took a small step forward and stood in front of Shi Man. A layer of anger appeared in his gentle eyes. “Miss, I don’t know you. Please don’t question my friend.”
“Brother Yuan Yi.” The woman covered her mouth in disbelief as large tears rolled down her eyes. “You actually don’t remember me. I’m Ji Xue, your Little Sister Xue! I heard that you’ve returned to the country and have been looking for an opportunity to see you. I didn’t expect to meet you here so coincidentally!”
Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about this name in the corner of his memory. After a while, he curled his lips and smiled. “I was wondering who it was. So it’s Student Ji Xue, who was taught a lesson by me and Elder Brother.”
